jammag writes "Veteran software developer Eric Speigel describes some of the odd and annoying bosses he's worked for during years of coding. The litany runs from the "friend" who wants to hang out (until the crap hits the fan and the screaming starts) to the "hovering micro-manager" who sneaks up behind him.
